Adz, Pete, Grandad, Meph, Delta et al... I'm betting you don't remember me! Good to see this site is still up and running {yolkfolk}:clap:

Hello everyone. I've missed you.

My Brother is coming around today, and we're going to play through some of Delta's classic DizzyAge games. He's never played them, despite us growing up on Dizzy back in the early nineties. So I'm getting the laptop hooked up to the 4K TV, and we're going on a full screen pixelated DizzyAge binge!

Ah, it's like slipping back into an old shell {yolkfolk}:joy:

dunno you were gone that long.. i recall we only sent out down to get milk, we've just been sitting here waiting.

#8583829 July 2017

It's great to hear from you Mataeus. :smile:

The DizzyAGE collection has gotten slightly bigger in recent years (50% of which are from Grandad :tongue: )

Also when you have the chance, there's also 3 official Dizzy games that have recently been brought to life.

Welcome back, just don't leave it so long again next time!

The milk.

I knew there was something.

So, my brother and I have started working our way through Illusion Island Dizzy, and had a whale of a time. Currently trying to keep track of a banana, a lid and a boulder which we've placed in the crypt of the church so we don't lose them. Having said that, I do recall we've left the spanner somewhere up the top of a treehouse near the perfume maker. It's great going into a game after years away and not having a bloody clue what you're doing!

Illusion Island Dizzy is a massive game... it'll keep you bust for a while.

Thank you! Haven't finished catching up on Grandad's unique brand of adventures yet {yolkfolk}:joy:

Have I missed anything eggciting (again)? Did anyone finally find out what happened to Jamie Douglas? And why does my Voodoo Vince avatar not show :umm:

I don't know when you were last on here, but 4 official Dizzy games for the NES have recently been unearthed by the Olivers themselves.

And the Olivers have designed a new Spectrum game called "Wonderful Dizzy", which has been in the works for a couple of years now.
But I've heard recently that its nearing completion

Back in 2017, we switched from vbulletin to phpbb due to cost reasons, hence why you had to reupload your avatar.

Jamie hasn't been seen since we switched forums, its like he disappeared off the face of the earth. :surprise:
